I assume you don't have a news server on your system? If not: Check to see if /var/log/news is refenced in /etc/syslog.conf. If it is, comment out the lines that refer to files in that directory. Or alternatively, make a /var/log/news directory. Syslogd has a problem if it can't open files it's supposed to be logging to, and so it generates all those error messages. -- #!/usr/bin/perl -pi_______Syntax:_sig.pl_<location-of-netscape-program>_______ BEGIN{if(!$ARGV[0]){$^I=~y/_/ /;print"$^I\n";exit}$^I='.bak'}# Joey Hess s/\bnoframes\b/noFrames/g;s/\bframeset\b/frameSet/g# [EMAIL PROTECTED] #Remove frames from Netscape forever! <http://kite.ml.org/~joey/framefree.cgi> -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I have tried setting it up on a Debian 1.2 system, but it just freezes up when I try to change the password from Eudora. A list of all the processes shows that 'poppasswd' is running along with a 'passwd rcb'. These must be killed manually, otherwise they hang around even after pressing the 'Stop' button in Eudora.
